Any clues? I recently saw a TV blurb about Jane's new album. Evidently, during the recording (and writing) of _The_Walking_ , Jane was in the midst of breaking up with her then-boyfriend _____ Switzer (can't remember his first name). Note that he was also a producer on the record - Hence the more "moody" sound. Before recording her latest disc, she had just moved in with her new boyfriend (some Canadian film-maker, whose name escapes me at the moment). Interesting bit of trivia: Did you know that before recording _No_Borders_Here_ Jane went to Spain on the sole purpose of meeting Salvador Dali? She spent 4 days at his castle (more specifically, on the doorstep) until S. D. would talk with her.
